First and final girl in horror films
First Girl
The first girl in a horror films are naive and innocent making them an easy victim to be murdered in a horror film. Often the girl will have blonde hair, this is because stereotypically the blonde hair connotes stupidity and naivety making her even more of an easy target. In many cases the lone girl will just open the door when she hears the doorbell without checking who is there or wander the phone putting herself in danger and highlight her naivety and stupidity. For example, in the opening sequence of 'Scream' the blonde girl is portrayed as naive and stupid as she repeatedly answers the phone to the stranger even after he has revealed themselves as being extremely creepy then later reveals he is watching her. Additionally, within the opening sequence the blonde girl also burns the popcorn, leading to a small fire, further showing the stupidity of the blonde girl also known as the first girl in a horror film.
